Recipe Introduction
My husband and I are great fans of QVC's Bob Bowersox. He is the resident chef on "In the Kitchen with Bob" televised on Sundays. He has come out with a series of cookbooks and this recipe comes from one of them. It makes use of fresh vegetables that are available at the produce market and is a very good easy soup. Use canned tomatoes if fresh are not available.

*Judi's notes: I do not use salt but substitute The Spice Hunter's All Purpose Blend (salt free seasoning). It is available at Albertson's Markets in the spice section. If your supermarket does not carry it, you can order from The Spice Hunter 1-800-444-3061. They also have a wonderful website you can order many spices and seasonings from.
